Filmed Live Musicals – Détails, épisodes et analyse

How does a lifelong passion for musical theater begin? For Sara Glancy, it all started with "The Wizard of Oz" at age five. Join us as Sara recounts her enchanting journey from watching "The Wizard of Oz" to her professional training at NYU. Discover how a year-long New Year's resolution to learn a new musical every day helped keep her artistic spirit alive amidst the hustle and bustle of New York City.

We also get a sneak peek into Sarah's new solo show, "Put Words in My Mouth," which focuses on the power of lyrics across musical theater, folk, and rock. Featuring the works of Shaina Taub, Joni Mitchell, and Stephen Sondheim, Sara shares her love of words, and how musical theatre lyrics inspire hope.

Sara Glancy (she/her) is an NYC-based actor who has performed Off-Broadway, touring, and regionally. But many of her favorite projects have been workshops and readings of thrilling new works that are not yet household names. Though her first New York Times review named her “a scene-stealing Sara Glancy,” Sara is always happiest when sharing the spotlight with a gaggle of fearless collaborators.

In this special crossover episode, host Luisa Lyons chats with Ebony Vines and Pamela Shandrow of the Theatre Geeks Anonymous podcast. 

Join us as we nerd out about musical theatre and take a look at three short-running Broadway musicals that were all filmed live: At the Drop of a Hat (1962) starring British comedy duo Flanders and Swann, Show Girl (1961) starring Carol Channing, and Allegiance (2017) starring George Takei, Telly Leung, and Lea Salonga.

Guest Bios
Ebony Vines is a writer, director, producer and the co-host of Theatre Geeks Anonymous. Ebony’s love of musical theatre was passed down from her late Mother who loved to watch musical movies with her daughter while grading her students' homework. After a long conversation with her friend Pamela about growing up a theater geek, obsessively listening to cast recordings and also loving true crime, they created the podcast Theatre Geeks Anonymous. 

At a very young age, Pamela Shandrow knew she wanted to be an actress. It was at 10 years old, when she watched the PBS version of Into The Woods with Bernadette Peters, that she decided her future would be in musical theatre! Since then she’s performed in numerable regional shows, but is most proud of her work in the Broadway National Tours of Phantom of the Opera, and Wicked, as ensemble/Carlotta US and ensemble/Madame Morrible US respectively.

All Wigged Out is available on demand on Broadway on Demand, Hoopla, Google Play, and on DVD via Amazon and Bandcamp.

TWO-TIME GRAMMY® Award Winners, Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer are an eclectic folk festival on their own terms. They have entertained the Queen of Thailand, been keynote singers for the AFL-CIO, performed at hundreds of folk festivals, appeared on the "Today Show" and on National Public Radio.
